Last Sunday, the 2nd, Flamengo made the long-awaited announcement of the signing of defensive midfielder Allan, thus ending a long and complicated negotiation with Atlético-MG. After the departure of the team from Minas Gerais, Rodrigo Caetano gave a press conference, in which he clarified the details of the transfer of the 26-year-old player, causing protests in Belo Horizonte.

“Our fans deserve to know the details of the departure from Allan. For us, that page has already been turned, but it was necessary to come here and explain. That's because the negotiations only advanced at the request of the athlete himself. We tried to extend his contract, but he maintained the position that it was not what he wanted”, he said.

The director of football at Atlético-MG explained that the midfielder had already expressed his desire in the last window of transfers, but that no proposal arrived for Allan. Rodrigo Caetano explained that the parties gave up money for the deal to be completed:

“The period passed, because of the injury, and we reached the other window. But after the arrival of the official proposal, we began to analyze how we could make this negotiation better for the Rooster. All parties sacrificed for it to happen, the agents, the athlete himself, Liverpool's participation, all reduced their rights so that the Rooster had some financial advantage ”, he continued.

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.

Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"

"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.

"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory. In 2025, he maintained his starting spot in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Estadual . In total, he has represented Flamengo in 125 official matches, establishing himself as a pillar of the team.
